How people cook with it
French bread is a wonderful base for many meals and snacks. Its simple flavor complements a wide range of ingredients.
- Toasted for breakfast
- Sandwich base
- Garlic bread
- Bread pudding
To enjoy its best texture, this French bread can be lightly warmed in an oven or toaster oven. For garlic bread, slice the loaf, spread with butter and garlic, and bake until golden. It can also be cubed and used as croutons for salads or as the foundation for a savory bread pudding. When making sandwiches, slice it lengthwise or into individual portions. It is also excellent served alongside soups and stews.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other breads, French bread typically has a thinner, crispier crust and a lighter, chewier crumb. It often contains fewer ingredients than enriched breads, focusing on flour, water, yeast, and salt for a pure bread flavor.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, store it at room temperature in a paper bag or bread box. Avoid refrigerating, as this can make the crust tough. For longer storage, it can be sliced and frozen in an airtight bag.
